Alpro #deskfest challenge day 1

As someone who considers themselves to be extremely healthy and a slave to the gym, my one ‘unhealthy’ habit is that I never eat breakfast. Like ever. So when Alpro asked if I wanted to take part in their #deskfest challenge I thought this would be a great opportunity to start reforming my bad habit and embrace the most important meal of the day. I have always enjoyed soya milk products and think they are a great option if you are trying to cut down on dairy, or are a vegetarian like me and want to introduce more protein into your diet. The idea of the challenge is to tweet a picture of your Alpro breakfast with the hashtag #deskfest and you will entered into a competition to win a three day trip to New York. Pancakes in the Big Apple? Yes please! Fuelled by a lorry-load of Alpro and a fancy smoothie maker, I set to work creating my first breakfast of the five day challenge…

The Alpro Green Monster:
Glass of Alpro Almond Milk
One banana
Two handfuls of spinach
One handful of blueberries
*blend*

I was seriously sceptical about sampling this smoothie. I love spinach…but in a drink? With banana? But seriously, it is actually really nice and doesn’t taste at all leafy! It is loaded with good things and will really perk your energy levels up for the day ahead. Give it a try 🙂 And you can follow my challenge via my twitter and instagram accounts – usernames are the same: pinkpixiedoll.

I have been making these green smoothies over the past couple of weeks and love it. I add a little bit of honey sometimes to sweeten it up. I also use kale sometimes instead of spinach. Very delicious!
